I feel so blessed to be teaching here. These are some things I love about my job (in no particular order):
- The children are so cute and smart and loving!
- I have 22 students, and the cap is 23.
- I have 6 Mohammed's, so names were not that hard to learn.
- My classroom is full of resources and supplies for crafts.
- We have reams of copy paper and laminating sheets to use.
- We have a SmartBoard, two computers, and a color printer in our classroom.
- I get to teach side by side with my friend almost the entire day.
- I learn Arabic from her!
- There are sweet maids that come in and clean our classroom throughout the day.
- I work with a group of very happy and supportive women.
- My hours are 7:30-2:30 Sunday and Monday, and 7:30-12:45 Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The kids are in school from 8:00-12:30 and they have 30 minutes each of music, art, and PE every week and Islamic for 30 minutes a day, giving me about 4 hours of prep time a week. They also have lunch and recess for a half hour every day and library once a week, which I supervise with my co-teacher.
Thanks for sharing this! I found your blog on the Footprints FB page today. My hubby just passed his phone interview and we are waiting to find out when the in-person interviews will be. I went back and read your "love story" post and was excited to see that you are LDS. I would love to connect with you as we are LDS too! Have a great day!
